now in hands of Jail
71,
Huron's Historic Jail Board will
be given approval by Huron
County Council to use the former
jail for whatever is deemed
adviseable by them providing the
terms of an agreement, expected
to be drawn up and signed
shortly, are met.
Property Committee Chairman
Harold Wild reported to council
the Huron Historic Jail Board is
an individual board and not a
sub-committee of Huron County
Council.
He said the terms of the
agreement with that board will
provide that any structural
alterations to the property in
question must be approved by the
property committee; that the
organization will adhere to any
parking restrictions that will be
necessarily imposed by the
property committee; that while
.the county will carry insurance as
to liability and fire protection, it
will be the responsibility of the
jail board to carry sufficient
liability' insurance, content
insurance etc., for their own
protection; that the jail board will
be responsible for the
maintenance and operating costs
of the building and ground ,and
ensure that the building will be
maintained in a safe manner; and
the agreement will be for 'five
years with option to renew.
Chairman of the Jail Board is
former Goderich Reeve and
county councillor Paul Carroll. It
is understood the jail board has
plans to open the jail this
summer, providing plans are not
altered by unforseen difficidties.
In speaking concerning the
recommendations of the property
committee, Chairman Wild said it
was his belief that the jail board
was comprised of sincere,
dedicated people who deserved a
chance to do what they could to
bring the former jail into the
limelight as an historic building
and tourist attraction for Huron.
County.
The executive committee of
Huron County Council has been
charged ,with the responsibility to
look into ,a request from Huron'
County's Police Commissions to
ask the Solicitor General to.
conduct a study on policing needs
in Huron ,County.
Representatives of Huron's
Police Commissions attended last
Friday's meeting of 'Huron
County Council and suggested
the request to the Solicitor
General should include the
provision that any - study
undertaken by that office would
examine "all the possible
alternatives with regards to
policing" •
The action stems from a report
by the Task Force on Policing in
Ontario which has suggested that
all municipalities under 15,000
persons would be policed by the
'Ontario Provincial Police with all
other forces to be disbanded.
If this was made legislation, it
would mean that the police forces
in Huron's five towns would be
dissolved.
Some discussion centred
around the fact that rural areas
presently now pay nothing extra
by way of municipal taxes for
police protection since they are
pat rolled by the OPP. In the five
towns, however, residents there
pay heavily for their town police
forces.

Rock groups
There are so many rock groups
around today making hit records,
But have you ever noticed that ad
many of the groups come in lotsd

harmony or protection?
Late, Late Show
It's bad enough they show old
American movies on the Late,
Late Show - but now they're
showing British movies from way
back when. In one movie I a R y
last night, Henry the Eighth was
played byHenry Ninth'
Board
It was pointed out at the .reeling
that in the future, it appears Hot
the rural areas will also be paying
through their municipal taxes far
police protection by the OPP,
That being the case, it was felttii
some that a Huron County Polite
Force might be the niosi
economical method of policing,i,.
A brief containing 20 publi
advantages to be gained through
a County police force was oak
desk of each councillor for study;
It promised faster service to llie
public in Huron County; centril,
diSpatching; improved 'salarin
and benefits for police officers'
and improved policing in now
other ways.
The presentation noted the
OPP would still patrol the
highways and be a part of justice
in Huron.
